Try the Skype Beta for Windows Phone

Okay Windows Phoners, you’ve been hanging out for this for a while and now there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Skype for Windows Phone is now in beta as per this announcement on the Windows Phone Blog and you can try it out for yourself. However, it seems to be region locked perhaps to the USA which means trying to download it via Zune can be problematic.

The way around it for the time being seems to be visiting this link on your Windows Phone and you should be able to download it straight away. Bear in mind though, this is beta software so there may be bugs and it might misbehave so proceed at your own risk!
